What is your opinion about infidelity?

Infidelity among politicians, artists, and the rich in my country is rampant. Generally, the man is having an affair with a young woman – the same age as his daughter – who is indeed pursuing a well-established man as a partner.

This is not a love-based relationship between a man and a woman. This is a transactional relationship, a short-term relationship with mutual benefits. The man provides money and facilities, and the woman gives pleasure. This relationship is safer in terms of health compared to using a prostitute.

My society is known to be religious and respects manners. But times have changed. Religion and customs are only for those who still believe in them. Others may disobey.

The influence of social media is significant in changing people’s behavior, especially poisoning the minds of young girls. They hunt for gentlemen who will finance their luxurious lifestyles, regardless of whether the man is married.

Social media often brings the topic of infidelity to the forefront, exposing it for everyone to see. I can only imagine the devastation it causes to the family of the man involved in the affair. His wife might have been aware of her husband’s infidelity, but what about their daughter or son? They may have viewed their father as the hero of the family—a man who works hard for them—only to discover that he has been having an affair with a younger woman.

Young mistresses astonishingly come from good, religious families. However, they do not express regret. They are even willing to speak up and argue for recognition and acceptance.

Despite the turmoil of marriage, I admire families that can reconcile. This hint of a strong marriage that remains unshaken by fleeting temptations. Wives who take their husbands back and are willing to repair the fractures in their marriage, all while smiling and hiding their tears, are remarkable. You appear even more beautiful to me because of your inner strength and maturity of soul.
